Crate TRAINING

Purchase a metal crate and put it near your bed or in the bedroom.
Dogs are very social creatures and love to sleep near someone.

Leave the door to your dog’s crate open. Let him investigate
whenever he would like. Do not force your dog into the crate.

After a few hours of the crate being in the home, tell your
dog to “kennel up” and toss a tasty treat in to the
crate. Say “Good dog.”

Repeat

Once your dog is going into the crate each time stop throwing
the treat. Instead, say "Kennel up" and then gesture
as if you were tossing a treat. Say “Good dog ” and
treat once your dog is in the crate.

Practice short trial periods (5 minutes) with your dog in the
crate before trying long durations.

Give your dog something yummy to chew (stuffed Kong) in the
crate.

Never open the crate when your dog is barking, crying or scratching.
Wait for that behavior to stop even for a moment, then you can
release your dog.
